A 40-year-old Inverness Township man who provided alcohol to persons under 21 years of age was sentenced to two years of probation Tuesday in Cheboygan County 53rd Circuit Court.

Steven Edward Robydek admitted in court that he had become obsessed with a 14-year-old girl, had texted her frequently with inappropriate messages and held several gatherings at his residence where he furnished alcohol and allowed guests under 21 years of age to consume alcoholic beverages.

Robydek faced five charges in connection with the case and was arrested in September 2012.

The probationary sentence will include many restrictions on how Robydek spends his time.
